Type of Air Conditioner

First things first… how well do you know about the types of air conditioners out there? For instance, a wall-mounted air conditioner is an extremely popular option as it performs better than other types of air conditioners in the context of sound and energy. A prime example would be the CUCKOO VITA-S Inverter which infuses vitamin C into the air to boost immunity and moisturise skin. Surely this is welcoming news, especially with the virus running rampant in our country, one would say this is the best air conditioner for home.

There is also the centralised air conditioner, which is typically found in malls, shop lots, and office towers. This type of air cond is more cost-effective and cools evenly in larger places. It saves space too as it is usually concealed in the ceiling.

Lastly, we have the portable air conditioner: an enhanced air conditioner with higher mobility. What this means is that you can easily feel cool wherever you go in the house, and you can experience this with CUCKOO UNIQ, which boasts high mobility and an instantaneous cooling effect superior to the rest due to its unique technology that allows it to accelerate the cooling of condensed water, for example.

In-House Factors

The type of conditioner you choose depends on the space it will be in. You will need to factor in the size of the room or space, traffic, windows area, and distance from the kitchen before getting an indoor air conditioner as they generally affect how much horsepower (HP) you need.

In most situations, the size of the space is directly proportional to the capacity, hence the larger the room, the larger the air conditioner capacity you need. A medium-sized room of about 18 square meters (200 square feet) or less will require about 1.5 HP, and a large room of about 30 square meters (325 square feet) or less will require 2 HP.

Let’s not forget about the size and number of windows there as windows invite sunlight. This leads to more heat penetration, so prepare yourself for investing in a higher capacity air conditioner to counter the heat. Another interesting thing to note is the distance of the area to your kitchen. Seeing that there are many heat-generating cooking appliances in the kitchen, it is only fair to assume that the temperature will be pretty high too, thus the need to assess the right capacity for your potential air conditioner.

Energy Star Rating

What is Energy Star Rating, exactly? Formally, it is a government-backed accreditation that provides an indication of cost-saving energy efficiency levels to consumers in order to make well-informed decisions. In a looser definition, it basically shows how energy-efficient it is. Thus, the more the star ratings, the higher the indication of better or higher energy-saving capabilities. Rest assured, the CUCKOO VITA-S Inverter has a 4-star rating, ensuring its credibility as an excellent choice for consumers who have concerns about saving electricity.

Noise Control

If you are sensitive even to the smallest of sounds in bed, you may risk the quality of your sleep if you had chosen the wrong air conditioner. With the right noise control features, you can bask in glorious silence, undisturbed by loud whirring sounds. A good start would be air conditioners with a low noise level, preferably within 50 decibels (dB).

Convenience

The beauty of modern technology is how things are always improving from the last design. Numerous advanced air conditioners are now enhanced with wifi and can be connected to your phone through a mobile app. This advanced feature provides the convenience of controlling your air conditioner, be it to set a timer or to turn your air conditioner on and off effortlessly, wherever you are.
